Alessandra is so unique, and you could shorten it to Alice/Aless. Mmmmm, the last baby I know born is named Alexandra and my sons middle name is Alexander....I wonder.....could i....mmmmm.

I love Stafan, but I am unsure about Stefan Smith, dont totally hate it, but find myself saying the name over and over unsure if it works.

of the above Stefan Antonio get my vote, sounds so smooth and Marco Isaac. I like the vowels in it oppose to the harsher constanants in the others.

In the UK Declan gets shortened to Dec.  Ill refer to 'Ant and Dec'. You might have to google them.Not a bad thing I guess.

have you considered Derek/Derrick

..... or if the baby is going to be known as Dex really you could look at allot of D names. Deacon?

I love this brainstorming thank you so much for your help, I am quite sold on Dylan Aaron James Milburn and Jonah Aaron James Milburn (though I prefer Dylan mainly because of the meaning) but I like having a couple of choices which can be thought about once we meet the baby.

still stuck on the girls names mind. Its the swapping the surnames thing and the fact that James is a really common name vs a more uncommon one thats getting me as I discussed above I think.

You are right though so many names go with James.

I really like your Dylan Aaron James Milburn idea, thats fab and would work with the boy we already have...

I agree that Emily Milburn sounds better than Aria Milburn, i think its because a 'common' surname goes better with an unusual first name and vice versa. But my problem is eventually Emily Milburn will become Emily James and although pretty thats two common names, there must be like a million of Emily James. Am I making sense...

i like Samuel, but the sortened version is Sam then there is the mm in Sammilburn. this is a minefield ha.

re finding out the sex. Im undecided .... didnt want to but its so convienient right!?! I dont have long to make my mind up!

thanks everyone. goodness its so confusing!

You are all thinking along our wave length as our first is Natan Alexander James Milburn, with James as a middle name!  ...and if we get married we plan to use James as a surname and drop Milburn, the registar said that would be fine and reasonable.

Adrian is a family member so is a no go. Does Aiden work?

thank you! its so funny you mentioned that because our first child is Nathaniel!

very pretty, very feminine, I really like it.

Sorry about the gobbledeygook at the top of the page. oh and our first child is called Nathan Alexander.
